It's easy to save your photos from your Android device to Cloud Drive. Simply press and hold on a photo album on your Android phone, and select "Upload to Cloud Drive" to save existing photos from your device to the Cloud. Amazon Cloud Drive uses the same reliable and fast data storage infrastructure used by Amazon to run its own global network of web sites.

Android Cloud Drive features include:

-All Your Photos, Wherever You Go: Save your entire photo collection in Cloud Drive and your photos will be available to enjoy on your Kindle Fire, Android Phones and tablets, or with any web browser.

-Share Photos Through Your Favorite Apps: You can select photos directly from your Cloud Drive and share them through Facebook, email and many other apps.

-Save to the Cloud: It's simple to save photos to your Cloud Drive - simply press and hold on a photo or album and select "Upload to Cloud Drive" to save directly to the Amazon Cloud from your device.

-Cloud Drive is already integrated into Kindle Fire HD, making it seamless to upload, store and enjoy your entire photo library. With Kindle Fire HD's high-resolution screen, photos come alive in stunning high-definition, and the mosaic view arranges personal photos beautifully. Customers can also use their Kindle Fire to view their favorite photos on their TV using HDMI out, which enables you to connect an HDMI cable from your Kindle Fire to any device that has an HDMI port.
